Come On Back! The Movie (2024, NR, 60 min)
Come On Back! The Movie uses handcrafted puppets, obsolete technologies, and a mid-century gothic aesthetic to build a surreal and emotionally layered world. Directed by Jacob Graham and produced by Stoph Scheer, the film follows a fictional village trying to resurrect a boy erased from 1970s television for living openly as gay. Its analog visuals draw from the look and feel of vintage educational programs, inviting reflection on how media shapes memory and identity. A live puppetry demo and post-film discussion deepen the experience, offering insight into how storytelling can reclaim voices once left out.
